I lost my barred rock today due to sour crop, I think. The crop felt like a water balloon. This was her third day like this and after reading several posts on the topic I tried massaging her crop while holding her head down. She started vomiting right away, mostly cloudy water like. We did this twice then gave her some ACV and water. When we returned with some yogurt, she sounded like she was gurgling . We massaged her crop again and a clump of something bright yellow came out and she started flapping her wings violently. We put her down and she fell over kicking and her eyes closed. Even though we massaged and picked her upright so she could breath, it appears she drowned from this fluid.
My question to you is 2 part.
1. Did I do this massage wrong?
2. How do you prevent sour crop in the first place?
